Rauner also criticized the cost of the state's fleet of aircraft, saying lawmakers can drive back and forth to Springfield instead of flying.

"We are going to eliminate the shuttle service and sell many of the state planes," Rauner said.

Rauner also plans to merge the office of the state Comptroller and Treasurer, reform Medicaid verification and to tell legislators like House Speaker Mike Madigan to quit having two jobs and focus on being a lawmaker.

"We think that they should focus on the legislative process, not be active in outside businesses," Rauner said.
